I wrote back "What am I waiting for" or something to that effect and just got this:

"Spak into th void. Rassuranc is a gust with a switchblad and a smil.""

trans: Speak into the void. Reassurance is a guest with a switchblad and a smile

sounds familiar but i dunno how :S

I was curious about the poetry without vowels and the e-less messages and did a little to find a medical cause. Found this abstract on acquired dysgraphia, which results from brain injury. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1896072?ordinalpos=1&itool=EntrezSystem2.PEntrez.Pubmed.Pubmed_ResultsPanel.Pubmed_RVAbstractPlusDrugs2

The response I got back seems to be a direct response to the message I sent:

"Soon you will find answrs in thos common placs."

That's very cluey,Tres. Yet,doesn't it appear as if the msgs are now coming from two different sources? Just a guess.
Also,saw this in a recent study summary:" letter deletion errors and multiple-letter errors were typically found in oral spelling and very exceptional in written spelling." Anyway,very cluey theory.

Editing-Tres,I just read all the ancillary links to your above article. Have to say,yes,same subject matter.

Yes, I agree it does seem like there is more than one person sending the messages. I'm not sure how to account for that story-wise. What you found about multiple letter errors being exceptional in writing is interesting. What I searched for was something like writing without vowels. Was your source talking about the same thing?

Here's another abstract: http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v353/n6341/abs/353258a0.html

My message : `` We need to find Brody. ``

Front Desk (skinlessSPLAT48-hours.net) : `` You nvr will. ``

Translates to `` You never will. ``

re: Message from Ronnie.

That's discouraging. =/

Looks like your play time is over, Connie. Very Happy

I replied to the message with; `` We will find Brody, nobody will stop us. ``

Re: Message from Ronnie

Got a front dsk message that said:
pele' __________________________________________________

Maybe this is the connection to the football (soccer) tryout tape Jagt mentioned in the source code of one of his last posts. ETA: just realized that pele' is Portuguese for skin. I wonder if the blank is for skinlessjazz.com or something else in Spanish relating to skin? Any ideas?

I've got one more which I like: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pele_(mythology), the goddess of fire and "...is known for great jealousy and vengeance when she doesn't get her man."

Pelé is also the nickname of Edison Arantes do Nascimento who's an ex-Brazilian football player. He's best known for the kick that was called `` the pele ``, which AJ Styles uses in TNA. Essentially it's a back flip kick.
